Thanks for all the replies. I realize the range decisision is based on many factors. I will probably keep it under 30 yards. I'll be glad when someone invents a way to take the noise out of the crossbow shot. I was use to 40 yard shots with the mathews with complete confidence on a kill.
Opening morning, I saw 16 deer +/- and only had 3 come under 30 yards. One was a button and the other two still had a few spots so I passed. Good luck to all.
